"I needed to fix ceiling insulation after a major leak into the living room. The insulation was pulled up to allow things to dry out, but the company that did the drying (Stanley Steamer) said they would not put the insulation back. I called Ace because of all the great reviews on yelp. The bid was $650. I accepted it, and an excellent workman arrived on time as arranged. Here is the rub: The workman was finshed in 1/2 hr (!!!!!), and my jaw dropped. I thought for the price must be going to take at least a few hours. I had agreed to the price, though, so I wrote the check, as well as an email to the estimator for the job explaining how distressed I was by this. The email was passed to the manager of the Sacramento office, who called me right away. He said he would have felt the same, and that he would tear up the check and give me a new price. We met the next week, and he charged me half of the original bid. He gave me my original check and took my new check for $325. Here is what you should know about the price: The invoice had two *Service* items: a *show up fee* of $250, and another called *Work performed as per quote. This was followed by a *Quote adjustment based on actual work* of -$325. I truly appreciate the businesslike approach to the work: On time, done right as best I can tell. I also appreciate the response to my distress over the clear miscalculation. In spite of this, I feel overcharged even at half the original quote. The *show up fee* should have covered everything, so the maximum bill should have been $250. There was extremely little work performed, even if it was done well and professionally. In retrospect, I have no idea what the estimator included in $400 for *Work performed as per quote.* What did Ace do wrong? The estimator should have seen there was less than an hours work involved and told me that the minimum charge would be $250 to show up. If there were other minimum charges, such as a minimum of an hour of work, those should have been explained by the estimator so that I had some basis for understanding the bid and the opportunity to decide that the price was possibly going to be too high. The estimator said nothing about this, and there was no detail in the estimate. I believe I have given a fair revue for this disappointing experience. Ace has excellent customer service, and as best I can tell, the work was performed well. The pricing at first was way out of line, and ultimately still seems to me to be too high. But the job is done, and I am sure if there is any reason to, Ace will stand behind their work."

"We have a 1970's and we decided to have an energy audit by Landmark Construction. It was clear that our house have some energy issues and was in need of a any type of energy overhaul.  The report that was prepared for us by Charlie and his office staff, was comprehensive, clear to understand and revealed that the ducts at the attic  was not sized appropriately. In addition to that, the furnace/AC in the smaller unit was old (and original) and had to be replaced. The recommendations that Charlie told us, included a new furnace/AC, new tankless water system, hot water pipe insulation, building sealing, the insulation and new ducting throughout the house. This was the best investment we ever made.  I could not believe the difference in our utilities bill.  Charlie and his team were great,  professional and experienced. I wish we did these 15 years ago!!

"Craig, good natured guy whose rig was wide and access to the property was difficult. After looking at numerous solutions, he had to back out blind and didn't hurt a twig doing it. Arrived on time, job took exactly time estimated, and appears to have topped off the job with few more inches than required. Best price as well. I was impressed. Definitely call again on other work and recommend to friends and clients."

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

The two most common drywall thicknesses for ceilings are 1/2-inch and 5/8-inch. For most standard residential applications, 1/2-inch drywall is sufficient and widely used. It provides adequate support and is lighter and easier to handle during installation compared to thicker sheets. However, 5/8-inch drywall is often used for specific cases where additional benefits are needed. It is heavier but provides superior sound dampening and fire resistance. You should consider using 5/8-inch drywall for ceilings in commercial buildings, between a garage and a living space, or above a finished basement to meet building codes or for enhanced soundproofing.

Yes, cabinets are installed over drywall. The drywall must be in good condition, and you must ensure that the wall can handle the weight of the cabinets. Secure the cabinets to studs and use proper anchoring devices, like toggle bolts.

All plaster walls will crack over time due to normal house settling and expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes. Small, thin hairline cracks are generally not serious and are mostly a cosmetic issue. However, larger or more significant cracks can indicate structural problems.

Here's how to tell the difference:

  • Cosmetic Cracks: Cracks that are 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) or thinner are typically cosmetic.

  • Structural Cracks: Cracks wider than 0.5 cm, excessive or deep cracks, multiple cracks in the same area, or cracks that span around corners can signify a structural or foundation issue. Cracks along the joints where walls meet the ceiling also warrant attention.

For cracks wider than 0.5 cm, structural repair is needed. If a crack is 2.5 cm (1 inch) or wider, or if you notice any signs of a structural problem, it is best to contact a plaster repair professional to assess the damage.

Yes, it is possible to rewire a house without removing the drywall, but this doesn’t work in all homes. You can pull out old wires and insert new ones if you have access to the wiring system via the ceiling or through a crawl space. Some pros can also use a magnetic kit to fish the old wire out of the wall through a hole cavity and install the new wires. Just keep in mind that doing this is less stable than removing drywall, as you won’t be able to staple the wires into the framing.

To hide drywall edges, you need to properly apply drywall tape and multiple layers of joint compound. These materials hide the seams between drywall sheets and fill the holes from drywall screws, leaving behind a smooth, flat finish to paint over. Apply joint compound smoothly, and finish the job by sanding the walls to make sure you fully hide drywall edges and other imperfections.
